Having established themselves within the global DJ circuit, label founder, producer and DJ Oliver Koletzki and his protégé Niko Schwind now team up for a floor-focussed live-project: Koletzki & Schwind. To be released on Koletzki’s own Stil vor Talent, ‘She Wants Acid’, their maiden collaboration, takes no prisoners.

The title-track is crafted around a booming groove, Witch Doctor-style stabs, and a vocal loop, until the duo plunge into a deranged acid break-down accentuated by ominous UFO synths. On ‘Fake-Return’, Koletzki & Schwind appropriate elements of trance, twisting them into a synth-led monster with growling sub bass. Lastly, jacking garage percussion and an old-school bass-lead drive ‘Sydney’, K&S’s homage to the golden age.

Having delved in to hip-hop, downbeat, or electro-pop with past solo productions, ‘She Wants Acid’ exemplifies one thing: Koletzki & Schwind are ready to party.
